Google Chrome No Disk Error

For months I’ve been fighting with this error in my Chrome Internet browser. Several times I’ve searched for a fix or explanation without any luck. Today Google Search came up with an answer. \o/

The fix is not as elegant as I would like. It also reveals a lot about the workings of Chrome. The most negative part of this fix is the lost of the browser history. You can try the fix in two stages to see if you can keep your history. OR… read through the entire article here and try the alternate fix near the end.

The Fix

Close Chrome

Open your Task Manager. You can right click on empty background in the bottom tool bar and select Task Manager.

Select the Processes tab.

Click the column heading name Image Name to sort the display on names.

Kill any processes named chrome.exe. Right-click the process and select kill. You get an ‘are you sure?’ You are.

This is the end of the first step. Launch Chrome and see if this has fixed the problem. Often you’ll hear the solution as Reboot the computer. Rebooting kills this process. Manually killing it is much faster and easier.

The Fix Continued

If you are still getting the error, the problem has gotten into the history files of Chrome. So, you need to do some more work.

Close Chrome and via the 6 steps above, make sure all the Chrome process have been stopped.
